I need to quit the nails too, luckily for me the pipe smoker is stronger than the nail smoker, so I can buy as many pipes as I want.
I have to admit that I am something of an aspiring (if untalented) writer.
Second that. Great way to frame the argument for cig smokers trying to kick the habit. Read it three times myself, made me laugh every time.This almost needs to be a sticky because I think we all do it
Ha, you called that one. I would have enjoyed running the road with you when I was driving, but who knows, maybe we already have. Some of the most interesting folks I've ever met were just a voice coming across my Connex for a couple hours.Well, I would say that all of the above is the natural state for any trucker who spends 70+ hours a week behind the wheel. LOL
Great going on thee 2 months. The occasional craving for cig will probably last a long time. Sounds like you're on the right path.i have been over 2 months without a cig and i still get the craving for a butt every now and then but i load up some high nic and it will pass you can do it and just think you butt money wont take long to add up for a nice pipe
i was smoking 3 packs a day at $3.50 now i buy on average 2 tins a week at $20 and get a pipe about every 3-4 weeks and i am still saving money if i could just kick my PAD i think i could finish my Merc Dime set
Yeah, those of us who do or have smoked cigs have a much higher nic tolerance.Never smoked cigs. Probably why I am still a nic wuss.
I am just at the point I am tired of the butts but my occupation is making is hard to quit them so I decided it's got to be an either or situation.I need to quit the nails too, luckily for me the pipe smoker is stronger than the nail smoker, so I can buy as many pipes as I want.
Good luck. I have been looking around the B&M shops for some Erinmore but so far no luck. I did manage to pick up another tin of Irish Flake.I had to read this again, just for the humor and because, as I'm waiting for the lady, I'm having PAD attack and found myself having almost the same conversation. This almost needs to be a sticky because I think we all do it...
But let's see how grumpy I get. The carton of cigs will be finished tomorrow and I am going to dry my damndest to not buy any. I found 3 blens I really like that seems to really satisfy my nic fits (Haddo's, Erinmore Flake and Jack Knife).
And because I am clumsy in the morning (and quite the grump), I'll have to some the DGT - this way just need to light the pipe in the AM.
Thanks for the kind words.That was a great little read, Mason. I actually imagined a little imp sitting on your shoulder playing the part of Me Too!
Nobody can really fault you for using cigarettes while driving because they're so convenient.
I don't know if this suggestion would be of any help, but maybe cigars might be a better alternative.
At any rate, I've read most of the OTR adventures you've posted, and I think your "take" on life is both unique and interesting.
Maybe you can start a blog about the things you've experienced behind the wheel.
Agreed.rarely talk on it due to the massive number of idiots out there
